Impression Obsession Challenge

 

 

Hey friends!  Welcome to a new challenge from Impression Obsession.  It's that time of year.  Christmas in July! Woot!!!!  150 days until Christmas!!!!  Can you believe that!!!! YAY!  I already have some gifts purchased with Toys R Us closing!  Saved some BIG BUCKAROONIES!!!! 

 

Anyway, I digress.... I created my card using the tiny candy cane from the Nutcracker Suite CL782 in clear embossing ink and powder.  I colored my watercolor paper up with Candied Apple and Fired Brick distress inks.  I had watched a you tube that Canson watercolor paper was great for Distress inks, I'm gonna have to disagree here.  BUT.... away I went.  I then stamped the Curtsey silhouette E13710 in clear embossing ink and black embossing powder over the top.  The sentiment Being Naughty D17146 was stamped onto black cardstock and white embossing powder was used.

Impression Obsession Spring Hop day 5

Welcome to the Impression Obsession 2018 Spring Release Hop!

We have some beautiful new stamps to share AND Gift Certificates to give away!...

I began this card creation by playing with my Yupo paper.  I had purchased it after seeing a video by Jennifer McGuire several months ago, lost it, forgot about it, remembered about it and searched high and low.  FOUND IT.... well, I have seen it said that you "can't heat emboss on Yupo paper".... well me being me.... I challenged that rule.  I WON!  Now, mind you that you have to have your heat gun already super hot, and move it CONSTANTLY!!!!!!  I was able to heat emboss the CC283 Layered Roses that I stamped in IO Hybrid ink with clear embossing powder.  The ink stayed wet plenty long enough to get the powder on due to the slick surface.  I then decided HA! I'll use my scrap with the CC 265 X and O and emboss it also!  I added a piece of black ribbon to break up all the read, and then stamped the D13644 Thinking Silhouette in IO Hybrid and embossed it also.  I took some powders and made a night sky.  some small gems for stars and some red wire floss was circled around the piece and topped with a bow.

The Blog Hop will be posted on the Impression Obsession Blog at 6am EST January 22rd - January 26th.

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge: Embossing

Hey Krafty Peeps!  It's time for a new challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!!!!!

Today's challenge is to use embossing!!!  I have always loved this form of embossing and have never really been able to figure out the proper way to do it... until this past weekend at OnStage with Stampin Up.... we were told to ink up the side of the embossing folder that is the largest.  With the folder closed you will see one side that is larger than the other, ink that one!!!!!!

SO, I came home and tried it.  Literally a 5 minute card and that's because I decided to change my matting color and ink for sentiment after stamping it onto a piece of paper and realizing it appeared red not the Strawberry Slush I love!  lol

SO.... here is my embossing card using Kraftin Kimmie Stamps newly released set called "New Christmas Cheer" by Becky!!!!!
